The draft is a national event, and the daughters and daughters of officials above the sixth grade from all over the country are eligible to enter the primary election. After layers of screening, the remaining girls must have a high personal quality in addition to a strong family background.

After two months of strict selection, thirty young ladies from families, including Shen Miaolan, were left in the palace waiting for marriage.

The old lady was in a very good mood because of this, and repeatedly praised the third lady for teaching her daughter. The third lady still looked indifferent and not shocked, and said respectfully and politely, "Miao'er can have today, firstly, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, and secondly, personal creation. ”

The old lady was in a good mood and didn't mind her somewhat blunt words. The second lady on the side glanced at Shen Chunlan, who was still sincerely happy for Shen Miaolan after losing the election. Angry and indisputable.

Now the six young girls in the Hou Mansion are not counted, and the marriages of the other girls have been determined. Yilan was asked to marry by the third young master of the Rongguo Mansion, and the marriage date has been set, and she will leave the cabinet at the beginning of spring next year; although the Zhenguo Mansion has not yet been officially hired, Guerlain's marriage cannot be escaped; Miaolan has now been left in the palace, and naturally she has to be married to the prince and the clan. Only her Chunlan was screened out as soon as she was selected, and no one cared about it so far. When it comes to marriage, she herself is not in a hurry, and the second master, who doesn't know what he's busy all day, doesn't care. It is even more impossible to rely on the old lady who can only see the third room in her heart now. Second Mrs. Shen felt unusually unhappy and aggrieved. I thought about saying a few ridiculous words, but I thought that Chunlan couldn't hold back again.

"After next year, Guerlain, Yilan, and Miaolan will all come out of the cabinet one after another. The old lady is inevitably a little deserted here. Fortunately, there is still no settlement of our Chunlan marriage, and we can stay by the old lady's side to do our filial piety. Although the second lady was patient, her words inevitably carried a sour feeling.

The old lady frowned slightly, and then remembered the forgotten Shen Chunlan. It's also strange to say, there have always been hundreds of women seeking it, and it is really rare for a girl like Chunlan to have no intention of marrying her grandfather's family. The old lady also had a headache. The young and the old are orderly, even if the marriage of the remaining girls is decided, but Chunlan will not marry for a day, and the rest will have to wait in line.

"You, a mother, should always worry about your daughter, and you always have to look at each other if you have the right people. The old lady had a straight face and a stiff tone.

Second Mrs. Shen was almost choked, she was about to break her heart, but she couldn't say what she could do!

Shen Chunlan looked completely unconcerned on the side, "My granddaughter still wants to serve in front of her grandmother for a few years." After getting married, the days to live are long, but the days of reunion with everyone at home are numbered. ”

Shen Chunlan's mind was clear and simple, and her words were also from the bottom of her heart. Although it is a little silly, it has a lot more human touch. The old lady thought of her eldest granddaughter who had married and Shen Miaolan, who had never come out of the palace, and felt grateful in her heart. sighed slightly, "Good boy, it's hard for you to have this thought." But when the girl is older, she always has to get married. Tell your grandmother what kind of family you like. ”

"Since ancient times, the marriage has been a major event, and the parents have ordered the matchmaker to say the words, and the granddaughter listens to the grandmother and the father and mother to arrange. Where is there anything to say. For example, all the people who are matched with our Hou Mansion will always have a long family history and good character. Shen Chunlan sat on the rosewood circle chair and spoke eloquently.

The old lady smiled and nodded frequently, this girl looked confused, but in fact her heart was clear. Young and jealous because of arrogance, self-contained and annoying, but now he has grown into a good child with a pure mind and dignified manners. It's really rare to have such a heart without distractions and know how to advance and retreat.

"Chunlan is right," said the old lady, "I have some old acquaintances, and I have a grandson of outstanding character at home." In the future, I will look at Chunlan and set a good family affair as soon as possible. ”

In the end, it was the girl's family, and she really said that she wanted to get married, but Chunlan was still a little shy. He lowered his head and pursed his lips lightly, and said no more. The second lady was very pleased, "It's great to have an ancestor come forward." ”

The old lady nodded and smiled, "By the time my great-grandchildren can babble, my granddaughters will also be married." ”

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes fell on Mrs. Shen San, who was going to be a grandmother. The old lady continued to ask, "Brother Mo's daughter-in-law is about to give birth." ”

The doctor said, it's been a few days. Speaking of adding a grandson, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but be happy, with a smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The second lady looked at her amiable appearance and only felt dazzling. In her life, she probably didn't have a chance with her grandson.

Everyone was talking about the Li family's imminent delivery, and there was news that the Li family was about to give birth, and Wen Po had been invited. The Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion suddenly became busy.

Tossing from the afternoon to the evening, the Li family finally added a new male to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Master Shen San was overjoyed and personally named his grandson Shen Qingping, hoping that he would be happy and not disturbed by the world.

Shen Miaolan, who was in the deep palace, got the news in Shen Guifei's Zhaoren Palace on the second day and was overjoyed.

A rare smile also appeared on Shen Guifei's face, and then she sighed: "When I entered the palace, Brother Mo had just learned to walk, but now he is a father, and time flies so fast. ”

"Why should the mother sigh, even if the years pass, there is no trace on you. You're still in your prime. The fourth prince on the side handed a cup of tea to Shen Guifei, and the sycophants were quite in place.

Shen Guifei was happy in her heart when she heard this, but the expression on her face was still faint. The monster glared at him, "You still talk like this in front of your cousin, and you're not afraid of people's jokes." ”

"My cousin is used to it. The fourth prince glanced at Shen Miaolan and replied with a smile.

Who is used to it? I'm not familiar with you! Shen Miaolan roared in her heart, but with a docile smile on her face.

Shen Guifei's gaze quickly swept over Miaolan and her son's faces, suppressing some thoughts in her heart. opened his mouth and said, "Tomorrow is the third baptism, and I have no time to get out of the palace affairs are busy." The emperor took a trip for me to add some gifts to the child. ”

The four princes replied respectfully. Shen Miaolan on the side showed faint expectation and envy in her eyes. Shen Guifei saw it in her eyes and said, "There are rules for the entry and exit of beautiful girls in the palace, and they must uphold the Empress Dowager." After five days, the Holy One himself should appoint or marry, and then you will be able to leave the palace. It's not too late to see the little nephew when the time comes. ”

Being seen through her thoughts, Shen Miaolan felt a little shy, "The palace is not as good as the side, the rules are strict, and my niece knows it in her heart, so she will definitely not cause trouble to her aunt." ”

Shen Guifei smiled and nodded, and asked the palace maid to fetch osmanthus crisp for Miaolan and the four princes to eat.

At this time, a little eunuch in Zhaoren Palace reported that the Empress Dowager had an order to summon Shen Miaolan.
